After
a
gap
of
four
years,
Bollywood
star
Aamir
Khan
marked
his
return
on
the
celluloid
with
Advait
Chandan's
Laal
Singh
Chaddha.
An
official
remake
of
the
Hollywood
cult
classic
Forrest
Gump,
the
movie
has
Khan
stepping
into
Tom
Hanks'
shoes
to
essay
the
role
of
a
slow-witted
man
who
recounts
the
early
years
of
his
life
when
he
found
himself
in
the
middle
of
key
historical
events
and
now
wishes
to
reunite
with
the
love
of
his
life.
Laal
Singh
Chaddha
upon
its
release
on
August
11
(Raksha
Bandhan),
received
positive
to
mixed
reviews
from
the
critics.
However,
despite
all
the
buzz,
the
Aamir
Khan-starrer
opened
at
the
box
office
on
an
underwhelming
note.
Laal
Singh
Chaddha
collected
an
opening
of
Rs
12
Crore
which
was
below
expectations
keeping
in
mind
the
star
cast
and
the
budget
of
the
film.
Further,
the
film
witnessed
a
drop
at
national
chains
on
its
second
day
of
release
and
collected
Rs
7.26
Crore.
After
raking
in
Rs
18.96
Crore
in
two
days,
Laal
Singh
Chaddha
witnessed
a
slight
growth
in
its
business
on
Saturday.
The
Aamir
Khan
film
minted
a
collection
of
Rs
9
Crore.
The
total
three-day
box
office
collection
now
stands
at
Rs
27.96
Crore.
Trade
analyst
Taran
Adarsh
tweeted,
"#LaalSinghChaddha
witnesses
marginal
growth
on
Day

-
due
to
the
weekend
factor
-
but
that's
not
enough...
Should've
scored
in
double
digits
to
salvage
the
situation...
3-day
total
is
way
below
the
mark...

The
Advait
Chandan-directorial
features
Kareena
Kapoor
Khan
as
Aamir
Khan's
leading
lady.
Earlier
in
one
of
her
interviews,
the
actress
revealed
that
she
gave
a
screen
test
for
the
first
time
in
her
22-year-long
career
for
her
role
of
Rupa
in
Laal
Singh
Chaddha.
Speaking
about
reuniting
with
Aamir
on
screen,
Kareena
told
Firstpost,
"I
have
known
Aamir
for
30
years
now.
I
have
known
him
since
Karisma
did
Andaz
Apna
Apna.
I
was
12
then
and
I
am
going
to
be
42
this
year.
He
has
worked
with
my
sister
and
now
he
has
worked
with
me
and
that
says
so
much
about
his
prolific
career.
I
have
always
looked
up
to
him
and
I
wished
one
day
I
would
work
with
Aamir
Khan
and
we
have
done
some
outstanding
work
together.
I
am
hoping
that
Laal
would
be
added
to
the
list
of
Talaash
and
3
Idiots."

Laal
Singh
Chaddha

Telugu

Bollywood.
